Morality part 5: Moral Theology

Most of those who chime into my series are interested in the theological implications of our actions. When is my action sin or mortal sin? What role do I play in moral decision making? What is my conscience? This episode tackles those questions.

Morality part 4: Morality, Ethicality and Apppropriateness

Many of our actions cannot be described by "moral" and "immoral." Is it immoral to wear a tuxedo to the beach or a swimsuit to a board meeting? Am I allowed to sniffle in public or should I sneeze? These questions are addressed by the topics of morality, ethicality, and appropriateness. 

Morality part 3: Moral Principles

Rarely in life are our actions simple and easy to understand. Often our choices are complicated by layers of confusion or degrees of separation. The principles of Double-Effect and Cooperation help give us language to describe our involvement with immoral actions.

Morality part 2: Action, Intention, and Circumstances

Making moral decisions is more challenging than we think. Often we limit ourselves to "that was bad" or "that shouldn't have happened." Yet, we have to be honest about our actions and intentions. These two factor determine whether our actions were moral and how liable we are for the consequences.
